For our part the bullpen allowed 3 hits and 4 walks over 6 innings while striking out 7. Their bullpen went 5 2/3 allowing 4 hits and 3 walks, striking out 11, but the last hit came in the top of 13th, as Manny Machado launched the first pitch he saw from Casey Mize 423 feet to give us the 2-1 victory.
So now we have the next 3 games at home, and it looks like in game 3 we'll have Kluber going against Bauer. Pretty heavy on Indians, this one, we've both got Kluber, we've both got Bieber (though he's on my opponent's reserve and I'm using him in the pen), he's got Bauer, and I've got Carrasco.

Why do it once when you can do it twice? Edwin Encarnacion with a walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the 12th in game 3, again off Casey Mize, to give us a 3-2 win and a 2-1 series lead. This after my closer Minter gave up a game-tying solo home run in the top of the 9th with 2 outs.
Kluber doesn't get the decision but he did go 8 innings allowing 1 run on 2 hits and 1 walk.
Now I get to face his Kluber with my Carrasco. Oh look more Indians.
